Lakeshore Records: REPENTANCE [2014] - Mark Kilian

Lakeshore Records will release the REPENTANCE – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on November 11, 2014, and on CD January 13, 2015. The album features original music by Mark Kilian (SEAL TEAM 8: BEHIND ENEMY LINES, TSOTSI). The film, a psychological thriller starring Oscar® winner Forest Whitaker, Anthony Mackie, Mike Epps, Nicole Ari Parker and Sanaa Lathan, was released by Lionsgate’s (NYSE: LGF) Codeblack Films earlier this year.

“What the filmmakers wanted was that the duality of the main character be a main theme in the score,” explained Kilian. “We wanted to pull you in to Forest Whitaker's character, Angel, and to feel sympathy for him before the character takes a turn into a darker and creepier rendition.”

An earnest life-coach/author, Thomas Carter (Mackie), is mysteriously abducted by a deranged client, Angel Sanchez (Whitaker), who delves into Thomas' teachings and uses his spiritual messages of Karma - action and reaction, against him to terrorize him and his family for their past sins.

“The music is purposefully almost too warm and light in the beginning, perhaps even over sentimental,” Kilian described. “Then the music switches gear dramatically bordering on horror, but of a more psychological nature. So when the change comes it is more shocking and visceral for the audience.”

REPENTANCE is currently available from Lionsgate on VOD and DVD. The REPENTANCE – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be available digitally on November 11, 2014 and on CD January 13, 2015.
